The Penticton Press notes that many misbelieve the Lord's Day Alliance is a ministerial pressure group to restore the old Puritan Sunday and force it on the nation. The piece clarifies the organization’s work and its broader aims, arguing against such a narrow view.
Forward Penticton argues a domestic water supply and electric lighting are essential to draw up-to-date residents. It asserts one hundred thousand dollars spent on utilities would raise property values and attract hundreds or thousands of new settlers, urging the community to act now.
The Lord's Day Alliance, a semi political non denom organization, aims to defend the sanctity of the Lord's Day and secure one full day of rest per week. It reports high settlement rates of violations, notes BC is the only province not yet under Act, and urges public support and donations to extend the work nationwide.
